NEC Essentials for Architects: Introduction

The purpose of our NEC Essentials for Architects white paper series is to provide architects with a summary of the requirements found in the National Electrical Code that have a direct impact on space planning and the architectural design of buildings.

This white paper series will focus on the specific requirements of the following pieces of low voltage (1,000 volts or less) electrical distribution equipment:

• Panelboards.
• Switchboards.
• Dry-type transformers.
• Enclosed switches (aka “safety switches”).
